I know that this might sound crazy, but I think I get sick the same time every year. I appreciate that I only get sick once a year on average, but could it really be possible that I get sick after the same event every year?When I was in 7th grade I played football. After the final game of the season I developed a sinus infection with a post nasal drip. This was easily cured by a visit to the pediatrician and a simple ‘Z-Pak’ prescription. Since my 7th grade illness, I have noticed a trend. Every year since then on the last week of the football season I get sick. It is always cured by a visit to the doctor and a ‘Z-Pak’. It happened in high school, during my mission, last year, and it is happening right now. I know I may sound crazy, but I really think that my body has an annually scheduled maintenance for the last week of the football season.
What is even stranger is that when a football season would go longer in high school my illness would be delayed sufficiently to allow for the conclusion of the season. Therefore it is logical to assume that there is some internal mechanism which knows when to send my body into a sinus tailspin and it somehow is always correlated with high school football.
Now if you can figure that out maybe you deserve a Nobel Peace Prize, since it is apparently easy to do now that Al Gore has won one for doing a voice over in a documentary. But seriously, I want to know if I am crazy or not. Is this totally mental or am I just going mental?
Let me know!
